Some have already moved sharply up but a major move up will come later with more stocks participating as the gold bullion price rises above $1500 and perhaps...Read More
Technical analyst Clive Maund discusses why he believes silver is amazingly cheap and a sure sign that a major precious metals sector bull market is starting. We have already been over the reasons why a major precious metals (PM) sector bull market is starting, and remarked on how undervalued silver is compared to gold, and how this is typical at the start of a major sector bull market. But it is...Read More
Technical analyst Clive Maund charts the reasons why the recent gold breakout is genuine. It has been a truly glorious month for gold, and the purpose of this update is to point out firstly that the gold breakout of the past week was genuine and secondly that any short-term reaction back as far as $1,380 or even $1,370 will not negate the breakout instead it should be seized upon as an opportunit...Read More
As I pen this article, Gold is set to close the month and the quarter above $1400/oz and holding the majority of its recent gains. That does not necessitate continued strength but it is a good sign. The technicals and fundamentals are finally in place for Gold. It is outperforming all major currencies and the Federal Reserve is weeks away from beginning a new cycle of rate cuts. The US Dolla...Read More
President Trump has picked a fight with China on trade. This has run the gamut of badgering to the imposition of tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States. And, if that is not enough, the President threatens to lay on more tariffs if China fails to comply with a host of U.S. demands. China will not stand idly by and be beaten with a stick, but will they pull the trigger? One weapon that Chin...Read More
Saudi Arabia’s CEO Amin Nasr’s message to the press that oil flows to the market are guaranteed, should be taken with a pinch of salt.Looking at the current volatility in the Persian/Arabian Gulf and the possibility of a temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Aramco CEO’s message might be a bit overoptimistic. In reality, Aramco will not be able to keep the necessary crud...Read More

StrengthsThe best performing metal for the week was platinum, which gained 3.02 percent. Both platinum and palladium seem to be playing catch up to gold's strong move last week.

- Keith Weiner, Monetary MetalsLast week, we discussed the fundamental flaw in GDP. GDP is a perfect tool for central planning tools. But for measuring the economy, not so much. This is because it looks only at cash revenues. It does not look at the balance sheet. It does not take into account capital consumption or debt accumulation. Any Keynesian fool can add to GDP by borrowing to spend....Read More
By Avi GilburtI have to be honest and tell you that I am literally chuckling while I write some of my articles. My last gold article was one where I was certainly chuckling while writing it. Yet, I cannot tell you how many other "analysts" across the internet took me to task for something about which they thought I was being serious. I guess a sense of humor is not something that every reader po...Read More

Gold and silver can fall more after the US-China meeting at G20. Gold will crash if it trades below $1390. Silver will crash if it trades below $1505. Copper and crude oil should rise today. Traders will assess the US-China trade talk. Since details are not yet made public, reaction will be limited. I do not think North Korea will have any impact on currencies or bullion. Do not confuse that tr...Read More
Our monetary system is broken. It's given us low growth, a shrinking job force, inequality beyond what a healthy economy would produce, inefficiency, and the unnatural growth of finance as a portion of the economy. Our aging Federal Reserve System starves both small businesses and Silicon Valley of the capital needed to grow jobs and wages.Fed policy translates into zero-interest-rate loans for th...Read More
